.COMBINED'MARKING AND CUTTINGBINSTBUMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,689, dated April18, 1882.

Application filed November 11, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMMA O. HOLLELY, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings-and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Combinationof Instruments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a'full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making part of this specifieation- Figure 1 being a centrallongitudinal section of the handle of the combined instrument and a sideview of the instruments attached thereto; Fig.2, a separate side viewand partial section of the removable instruments at one end of thehandle; Fig. 3, a view corresponding with Fig.2, but showing a modifiedcombination of instruments forming this part of the combined instrument.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

This invention consists in the combination, to form one united portableinstrument, of several useful instruments, especially adapted to ladiesuse on the work-tableor elsewhere, and thereby to avoid the greater costof several corresponding separate instruments, and especially thetrouble of having about and keeping together so many different articles.

These instruments and the method of their combination are as follows:

A handle, A, of suitable size and form, as represented or otherwise, isprovided with .an aperture near the middle thereof, 'so as not tointerfere with the attachment of instruments at the two ends, and anemery bag or holder, B, is inserted therein for sharpening and polishingneedles, which are passed transversely through the handle into the bagof emery, a cross-aperture, a, being made through the haudle to allowthe needles to be'thus inserted. There being some diffieultyinintroducing this bag of emery, Ihave'adopted a convenient method, whichis to make the bag of suitable I clot-l1 over a cylindrical tube ofproper size to insert in the handle-aperture, close one end of the bagby stitching, then pour in the emery through the tube, which is thenwithdrawn, leaving the filled bag in thehandle. Theopen end of the bagis then closed by a stopper, I), of cork or other proper material. I

In one end of the handle A is inserted the shank c ofa marking-wheel, O,or it may in any other convenient manner known be secured to the handle,either fixedly or removably. A single marking-wheel is shown, formingthe essential element of this part of the combination but I contemplateas a modificatiomwhen desirable, to use two marking-wheels, mounted sideby side, at a proper distance apart from each other, adj ustable ornot/toward and from each other, for the purpose of both marking thelines where to cut out patterns or parts of garments and at the sametime of marking the sewing and stitching lines parallel with the edgesthereof. In the other end of the handle is inserted another instrument,which in general Iprefer to be a pencil, D but I prefer to make thispart a double instrument, or two instruments, in the two ends of anattaching-socket, d, which fits in the tubular or hollow end 8 of thehandle, and is made both removable and reversible end to end. I insertin one end of this socket-holder a pencil, D, and in the other endthereof either a rubber eraser, E, as shownin Figs.1 and 2, or aknifeblade, E, as shown in Fig. 3. This socketholder, with itsinstruments, may, if desired, at any time be withdrawn from the handleto be usedv or packed separately.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

'An instrument composed of'a. hollow handle, A, having inclosed thereinan emery-holder, B, of a marking-wheel, O, and a pencil and eraser, Dand E, snbstantiallyas herein specified.

The foregoing specification signed by me this 4th day of April, 1881.
